You cynic you!

for me there isnt enough of a punch for such a heavy set up so it didnt quite carry

quite liked the idea though.

This sketch made me do an actual LOL. An actual one.

I'd say the joke is how ridiculously petty and light weight the punchline is.

That's what I liked so much about it, it's twisted Milk Tray ad vibe. Are you doing more in this series? Do more in this series!

There's about a dozen of them I'll post some links

Ny heart still belongs to the grumpiest executioner.

I've always liked these.
Trouble is they really do need to be a running gag in a sketch show (very Fast Show IMHO).
The more you see - the better they work.
The fun is trying to guess what mundane cost saving exercise is being played out against the events of history.
Horribly expensive to film BUT if you could find an animated sketch show to take them on - very do-able, and great fun to animate.

Thanks
Well animators out there?
I could see them as a sort of 5 panel cartoon in the Daily Mail.
Next to an article about Gay Gypsies stealing all our cheese.
